With the news that Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has rented a 15-bedroom mansion in London, sources say Victoria Beckham is determined to team him up with her 11-year-old son Cruz, a budding musician. Victoria posted a photo to her Instagram last week of Cruz singing and strumming a guitar, and our sources say she’s shopping around for a music deal. She is desperate for Justin’s longtime manager Scooter Braun to sign Cruz and even wants the 22-year-old star to take him under his wing. “Posh is thrilled that Justin is planning to stay in the UK for a while because she truly believes Cruz has what it takes and she wants him to learn from the best,” reports an insider. But those close to her are worried she’s becoming…

When the cat’s away, the mice will play – and it seems that no-one knows that better than Kim’s youngest sister Kylie Jenner. Since Kim’s terrifying experience in Paris, her famously self-promoting family has remained respectfully low-key on social media, with one notable exception. Kylie, 19, posted a beach-bum selfie just hours after Kim’s horrific attack and, since then, she has filled her Twitter and Instagram feed with pictures of herself and advertisements for her make-up range, which has prompted comment that she’s trying to make the most of having the Kardashian limelight all to herself. “Kim is livid,” a family insider tells us. “She thinks it’s insensitive and the ultimate act of betrayal. She’s accused Kylie of trying to cash in on one of the worst times in her…

BAD INFLUENCE LEO LEADS TOBEY ASTRAY His break-up only made the news last week, but Tobey Maguire’s nine-year marriage already seems a distant memory for the newly single Spider-Man star, who has wasted no time in mending his broken heart. Three weeks before Tobey split from jewellery designer Jennifer Meyer, 39, the mother of his two kids, Ruby, nine, and Otis, seven, the 41-year-old actor was seen getting cosy with model Sofia Richie – the 18-year-old daughter of Lionel, sister of Nicole and ex of Justin Bieber at a Hollywood nightclub. And in recent months, Tobey has been spotted partying with other young, beautiful models – joined by his trusty wingman, longtime best buddy and notorious playboy Leonardo DiCaprio, 41. “Tobey was out in LA at all the hot spots,”…

Standing smack in the middle of an Auckland laundromat, dressed in stilettos and a fancy frock for our Woman’s Day photo shoot, Tai Berdinner-Blades looks a tad out of place – and the customers are starting to stare. The looks only get stranger as, surrounded by bustling tumble-driers and the strong smell of detergent, the Dirty Laundry actress begins to fold herself into one of the machines. “I feel like a contortionist!” laughs the Wellingtonian as she poses for the photographer. “I have never tried to fit my butt into a drier before!” Tai, who first captured our attention as Bennie Keegan on Go Girls three years ago, will do whatever it takes to promote her lead role in the new TVNZ 1 series Dirty Laundry, which sees her acting…

Cuddling up to his mum while eating chips on the couch of their Hollywood home, three-year-old Beau is blissfully oblivious to the horrific first year of his life. It’s only thanks to the strong parental instincts of his mother, Kiwi actress Simone Kessell, that the youngster has survived. “It was a year from hell,” tells the Underbellyand Terra Novastar, 41. “If I hadn’t been diligent, he wouldn’t be here.” Three years ago, in Sydney, just as Simone, her husband Gregor Jordan and their son Jack, now 11, were relishing their first weeks with baby Beau, the infant developed what doctors dismissed as stridor breathing, a noisy flow of breath. Although two GPs, a paediatrician and a medical helpline all assured the actress he’d grow out of it, Beau’s health started…

YOU WILL NEED Step 1 Mix white face paint with water and stipple over entire face. Use a fine brush to draw, then fill black circles around eyes and nose detail, starting with a V on the bridge. Step 2 Clean brush and draw scalloped edging around each eye, leaving space to apply a dab of red face paint in each one. Make sure the entire circle covers eyebrows. Step 3 Ensure lips are covered in white paint before drawing a fine black line from mid-cheek to mid-cheek across the mouth. Create vertical lines all the way across. Step 4 Draw and fill chin and forehead details, leaving enough space to add red paint. Pin hair back and attach three bright silk flowers across the top of the head.…

FINE HAIR HAIR TYPE: Your locks are fine, straight and don’t hold curls well. Your roots get greasy quickly and getting any sort of height or volume from a ’do is challenging. SHAMPOO TYPE: You’ll want a light shampoo that provides volume and body without weighing it down. One that reduces hair loss or tackles loss of density can be helpful too. DRY OR DAMAGED HAIR HAIR TYPE: Your mane is naturally coarse and dry, brittle and prone to breakage from too many dye jobs. You love to take to it with heat tools – blow-drying regularly or changing the texture with irons or tongs. SHAMPOO TYPE: You want anything that will pile on the moisture without leaving it slick. A regular hair treatment or mask is a good…

My daughter has taken up baking. Thank goodness someone has because I like cakes – especially lemon cake! She also does a mean chocolate muffin, choc-chip cookies and brownies. I am hoping this phase is not a passing one, but I fear with her genes, it may well be. She comes from a long line of women who love to cook but not bake. My nana on my dad’s side was a beautiful baker, however, on my mum’s side, baking wasn’t a thing. My grandmother would put on a feast fit for a king, with a table heaving with yummy treats, but she was more of an “open a packet of oatcakes” kind of Scotswoman. Each time my mum baked, we wolfed it all down and begged her to make…

Q My husband has told me recently his lack of sex drive is down to the fact that I have put on weight. Do I diet for the sake of our marriage or am I right to feel he’s being mean? • Miserable, Tauranga A Unless your husband is the male equivalent of Cindy Crawford, he should keep his thoughts to himself! Women are too easily persuaded to define their sexuality in relation to their physical shape and while having high self-esteem is clearly important, you can still have the motor running irrespective of extra kilograms. If you do decide to lose weight, don’t diet for him, diet for you! And point out that his chauvinistic hangover about size from the ’70s does zero for you in finding him attractive.…

There is not a beige prison jumpsuit in sight as Laverne Cox steps into the sparkly shoes of Dr Frank-N-Furter in the hotly-anticipated TV reboot of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In this quirky reimagining of the cult classic – which screens as a two-hour mini-movie on TV3 this week – the Orange is the New Black convict plays a flirty mad scientist bent on creating the perfect life form, “Rocky Horror”, solely to fulfil her sexual desires. “It’s all about me being fabulous and also brilliant – I created life!” Emmy-nominated Laverne says of the iconic character, originally played by Tim Curry. “So it’s cheeky and it’s sexy. It’s a tremendous amount of fun.” Living up to her predecessor’s performance was no easy task, but the 32-year-old transgender actress…

RIA VANDER VIS PLAYS HARPER WHITLEY “When I was really young, my family and I lived in an old renovated church that I’m sure was haunted. Lights used to turn on and off, and one time I saw an old man working at a sawhorse. Spooky!” LUKAS WHITING PLAYS FINN CONNELLY “Accidentally clogging the toilet at someone else’s house when you’re visiting for the first time is my most irrational fear.” LUCY BARCLAY PLAYS TRINA DUNCAN “My best Halloween party was also my worst. I went from having fun, dancing as a leopard, to vomiting in a taxi.” LUCY LOVEGROVE PLAYS SASS CONNELL Y “As a kid, I was so scared dinosaurs would break in and eat me, I made my brother sleep in the bottom bunk.” BEN MITCHELL PLAYS…

I only went trick-or-treating once as a kid and it was a total flop. It was the ’80s and households in Karori, Wellington, were ill-prepared for three spooky 12-year-olds demanding lollies on a grey October evening. There was plenty of flour left on damp footpaths from memory – what a trick! – and our loot bags held just a few lame treats. But fast-forward to the 21st century and Halloween has gone ballistic in Aotearoa. My kids have got into a frenzy over this ghoulish celebration for years. If you’re young, what’s not to love about dressing up in crazy costumes, screaming around the neighbourhood, banging on doors and demanding candy … or else!? But for us parents, it’s a bit of a coin toss to see who will escort…

Emotions were running high and you could cut the tension with a knife, but Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have survived their first face-to-face meeting since last month’s shocking split. Woman’s Day has learned that the estranged Hollywood superstars were reunited for a tense and uncomfortable family therapy session in Los Angeles – as dictated by their divorce agreement – which was only the second time Brad has seen his children following the mid-flight fight that led to the collapse of his marriage. “The atmosphere was frosty and there’s a huge amount of conflict between them,” reveals a Jolie-Pitt insider. “Angelina and Brad are both in agreement that the children come first, so they need to put on a united front and ensure the kids are getting the professional help…

SPOOKY SECRET TO SMOOTH SKIN They share a beauty regime! These ghost-like paper sheet face masks may promise radiant skin, but they also look ideal for Halloween.

Trinny and Charles have been dating since 2013, but they live apart. BATTLE OF THE BLOGS While the kitchen queen is owning social media with 831,000 Instagram followers, Trinny’s style and beauty video blogs have only earned her 188,000 fans.…

They say showbiz runs in the blood, and that couldn’t ring any truer for the bright and bubbly trio of sisters, Grace and Eve Palmer, and Faith Gunn. The girls’ mother is TV producer Janine Morrell-Gunn, while Faith’s dad is none other than iconic Kiwi star Jason Gunn. And just to keep the theme running, Eve and Grace’s father Tony – who separated from Janine when the girls were little – also works in television! “It was never a question if acting was what I was going to do,” tells Shortland Street star Grace, 21, who plays loved-up nurse Lucy Rickman. “In my mind, it never seemed like a far-fetched concept, but that also comes with the fact that I have this massively supportive family and never once did my…

Mum-of-three Olivia Potter used to think her psychic abilities were a curse until seven years ago, when she was able to convey a message to a dear friend from beyond the grave. The mother of her close pal Phil passed away unexpectedly and the 38-year-old Aucklander joined him at a hotel the night before the funeral. Despite never having met Phil’s mother, Olivia says, “The evening before the funeral, I was writing a poem for Phil to read out. Suddenly, I began shaking with tears streaming down my face. This voice came into my head, saying, ‘Turn the page. I want to write a letter to my husband.’ So I did. A voice just started literally dictating this letter. My handwriting changed. I’d never met this woman. I didn’t know…

Q My daughter has developed an addiction to exercise. She lives in her exercise gear, wears two fitness trackers and gets very moody if she misses a gym class or walk. I know it’s not really a bad thing, but I feel any addiction is unhealthy – even a supposed healthy one! I just want her to be happy, but she seems the exact opposite. • Concerned Mum, Rotorua A You are absolutely right. Gym addiction is a real thing. Most of us go through it and it’s more annoying for other people than it is for the gym bunny. I would not worry right now unless she is underweight. Most of us tire of gym obsession. Often a relationship will knock us back into sensible land, but right now,…

Your letters Inspiring women Thanks for the story on Toni Street’s health (WD, October 10). It’s good to hear she’s doing better and I love her on Spellbound. And what a scary experience for Kim Kardashian West to be robbed (WD, October 17). I’m not a fan, but you wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Also, thanks for sharing Sia Trokenheim’s new bub and Beth Allen’s little boy (WD, September 12). • J. Nelson, Auckland All shapes & sizes Just a quick note to say a huge thumbs-up for the plus-size lady doing yoga poses (WD, September 19)! I just love how this represents most of us, larger but still flexible and fit. I loved it, and so did a lot of my family and friends, who are all wonderful shapes…

ADAM LAMBERT “I could never imagine that I would be part of this new vision,” says the singer, 34, who plays ex-delivery boy Eddie. IVY LEVAN Drop Dead Gorgeous star Ivy, 29, plays a potty-mouth usherette, “who has very crass, funny banter”. CHRISTINA MILIAN The singer, 35, plays Magenta, a compliant maid who plots a secret plan to return to her native planet of Transsexual. RYAN MCCARTAN The 23-year-old plays Brad but would love to play Rocky if that meant he was granted “an insane body and a great tan”.…

Their seemingly separate lives have long been the subject of speculation, but despite their attempts at painting the picture of a perfect marriage, Victoria and David Beckham are on the verge of calling it quits. After 17 years of marriage, they’ve reached breaking point and insiders say all the signs are pointing to divorce. “Victoria is devastated,” reports our source. “She would do anything to make it work and to hold on to David, but it’s becoming fairly clear he’s had enough. They have barely seen each other in the past few months and when they are together, they have virtually nothing left to say. There’s a real iciness between them.” Another insider says rumours have been swirling over the state of their marriage after they recently divided their security…

After three marriages, 12 whopping seasons of Keeping up with the Kardashians and thousands of social-media selfies, it took just one terrifying night to wreck Kim Kardashian West’s life. The reality TV queen, who was savagely robbed at gunpoint inside a Paris apartment earlier this month, has become a recluse since the attack and her marriage to rapper Kanye West is in shreds – as is her relationship with her momager mum Kris Jenner. Kim, who turned 36 last week, “has barely been able to look Kanye in the eye since the attack”, a close friend reveals, speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day. “While she knows it’s not his fault, she blames him for not doing enough to protect her and cutting down on her security. “On top of that, she…

Adding to Caroline’s woes is the fact that palace insiders are picking her daughter Charlotte to be pregnant. If the headstrong royal is expecting, rumour has it she’ll be raising the baby on her own, along with her son Raphael, three, whose dad is her ex-partner, comedian and Midnight in Paris actor Gad Elmaleh, 45. We’re told Charlotte, 30, has split with Italian film director Lamberto Sanfelice, storming out of their Rome apartment. “For Caroline, it would be another reason to be compared negatively to Charlene and Albert’s happy family,” claims our source.…

Carly Flynn always thought she and her husband Dave would celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary with a lavish trip away or a romantic dinner out. Instead, the devoted pair are marking the special occasion with something altogether more exciting – a new baby! Welcoming us into the Auckland home she and Dave share with their daughter Tilly, six, and four-year-old son Jude, broadcasting star Carly – who is 21 weeks pregnant – admits that she’s still getting her head around their surprise news. They had been undecided about having a third child, but in the end, fate intervened. “This definitely took us by surprise,” laughs the lifestyle guru, as she shows off her baby bump. “I am really excited now, but there’s still a feeling of shock. I still can’t…

I loved Hilda Ogden. She was nosy, shrill and seething with resentment. It was like looking in a mirror. Hilda wasn’t real, but she felt real, especially to a little kid watching black-and-white television with his grandmother back in the deepest, darkest 1970s. With her headscarf and curlers, her smock and bucket, her “murial” and her flying ducks, who was this strange creature Hilda with the singsong accent and the chip on her shoulder?And why did I love her so much? Hilda was fictional, but Jean Alexander was flesh and blood, and this week the actress who brought Hilda to life died at the age of 90. Rest in peace, Jean. For more than 20 years, Jean, as Hilda, toiled and troubled and gossiped and complained on TV’s Coronation Street.…

Like many people, I’m still getting over Rachel McKenna’s shock departure from Shortland Street. Surely the place will go to pot. Legs will be incorrectly sawn off, arms attached to the wrong person and who knows what they will end up serving at the café? If you don’t watch Shorty, Rachel’s been the lynchpin of the nightly soap opera’s hospital for years, running the show with an iron fist and a wicked tongue. Sure, I knew she’d been battling addictions, but to go off the rails like that – turning against everyone who loves her and then arriving at a wedding tanked up to make a hideous spectacle of herself? Wow! I’ve seen other people bring the house down on such occasions, but a sozzled CEO collapsing a marquee is…

I think there may be different degrees of letting oneself go. Some women are naturally gorgeous at any size and shape. They look sexy and fabulous with long hair, and pixie-cute and gamine with short hair. Without make-up, they look fresh and natural. They glow. With make-up, they look Hollywood glam. I once attended an event in Los Angeles where Aussie supermodel Miranda Kerr was in attendance. She wore a simple, floor-length white dress. She had pulled her hair up into a messy bun and up close, I could see the only make-up she was wearing was a lick of mascara and red lipstick. She looked divine. In comparison, after having one or two children, I was out of shape. Well, it was a shape, I suppose, a kind of…

CARRIE, 1976 Oscar winner Sissy Spacek stars as a bullied high-school outcast with murderous supernatural powers in this bloody adaptation of Stephen King’s famous novel. DON’T BREATHE, 2016 There are no ghostly beings to send chills down your spine, but when a trio of foolish young thieves get trapped inside a blind man’s home in a robbery gone wrong, the consequences are deadly. THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, 1974 The title alone rattles your bones! Director Tobe Hooper’s uncomfortable watch dumps five clueless kids into a cannibalistic nightmare that simply doesn’t let up until the final credits. THE WITCH, 2015 “Terrifying, disturbed and scarier than any monster” was Kiwi singer Lorde’s review of The Witch, which follows a Puritan family torn apart by the forces of witchcraft and black magic.…

Scandal star Kerry Washington has landed herself a new role as mother-of-two! Earlier this month, the actress and her husband Nnamdi Asom ugha welcomed Caleb Kelechi Asomugha, a beautiful little brother for their two-year-old Isabelle. Kerry, 39, isn’t big on talking about her private life, but she couldn’t help but gush a bout motherhood recently. “I feel really, really blessed that I’m living extraordinary dreams that are coming true in my work life and in my personal life,” she confessed. A source close to the star adds, “Kerry was so thrilled to be a mom-of-two. Having Isabelle changed her life for the better and she was so excited to expand the family. Pregnancy treats her well! She ate very healthy and knows how to take care of her body.” The…
